George Wallace Protest
Image
A large group of people, many carrying signs opposing George Wallace, gather in downtown Oshkosh near a Wallace rally. Some of the signs read: "You'll wonder where the Yellow went, When Big George drops the Bomb in the Orient", "Heil Georgie!". Another sign has a symbol of the swastika, the word "Or" and the peace sign. A man in the foreground has two cameras around his neck, and a television camera on the left has a label on it that reads: "BBC-TV".
